Reviews for "Tower of Kanthor"

Awwrite, this looks good. Pixely games like this don't lag out my computer, so I'm already pumped. Fuck yeah! Achievments and everything! And hey, Mcleod! Didn't he make that sweet mashup fighter game?
Okay, level 1. That sword animation is terrible... but I realize, you have to get REALLY fucking close to these guys! I already lost like 5 or 6 health from level 1 because I had to get super close to kill anything. Can I just jump around it?
Okay, so I can skip over enemies-- but jeez! I keep getting hit by the blue volcanoes... are they frying my potato? .__.
Aaah! you can't knock volcanoes off their platforms! They just bounce the otherway and hit you in the potato. Hey, so what do these coins do anyw-- I paused the game to type because this level has bats. OH. SO THAT'S WHAT COINS ARE FOR. Bought 1 HP boost because I could afford it-- and then stopped, because apparently the price scales? yikes! Also, i can attack while jumping, which is good to know, because that bat was blocking my way. AAH! okay, so volcanoes CAN jump off platforms of their own volition.
Wait, wtf, this bat is green. And hey, those volcanoes are green! HEY! He drops two coins! Fuck yeah, now I'm tinfoil potato! But those green volcanoes move faster, too!
Okay... I get the feeling my commentary is going to repeat itself from here on out. Let me just recap: You've got scaling enemy difficulty, a functioning shop system with meaningful upgrades/powerups, and gameplay that you can't just exactly blow through if you want to not die. Yeah, the sword graphic could be better, but jesus, if that's the greatest of your worries, then your game is fucking amazing. All the parts are there, and it's fun. 5/5, bitch.

Gonna go finish now-- THEN I'll rate...
AH! SKELETONS!
YES! GOLD SWORD!
AH! SKELETON ON MY HEAD! (1 hp ;__;)
Maybe they're robots, they only move when I'm close enough to them...
AH! GUYS! Wait, when I die I don't die, I just go back?

Okay. Might make it even more challenging, since once you start upgrading your sword it become much easier, and since there are infinite continues (...I think).
Still, damn good game. I think the levels are randomized, so replayability is a thing too.

Nice game, jumping was bit hard, but overall very good! I like the upgrades, shots are good!
I hope to see more of you!

at first i said to myself this is sh** then i kept playing and i thought THIS IS FFUUUUNNN

yeah, you know what? i do hate kanthor
this game was getting on my nerves so much, not even games like "give up", "cat mario", "unfair mario", "the impossible game" or "world's hardest game" could hold up
but it wasn't even that difficult, it was just so easy-looking for a platformer and it got difficult very fast with shooting enemies that hit you no matter what or enemies that walk in three different speeds and sometimes fly away half a screen if you hit them, sometimes they tank it out and sometimes just charge straight through it.
to be honest, the whole thing wouldn't have been a problem if i was a bit more careful, but this game just didn't seem to deserve it. nevertheless i'm going to give you 5/5 so that other people may have the same bad experience that i had for the past hour.
ps: i was going to use a lot of swearing words, but i'm too lazy to write even more for this effing game

nice gamne
